I like the look of the Sherman, lickable tracks or not.

Apparently the G2 had the fittings for a maintenance crane - so Mend added it to the G2
On the AFV Club Facebook page - soon available
The guntruck certainly out of the ordinary - a M113 hull mounted on the load bed of the truck - was this a one-off? Maybe just recovering a M113 badly damaged?

No and no
The US Army built several gun trucks this way during the Vietnam War — you could call them the third-generation gun trucks. The first had simple armour plates on the cab and sides, the second generation often had double plates and more elaborate kit (the only surviving real one, Eve of Destruction, is one of these), the third had a gutted M113 put into the load bed. A very good source about this subject is the book Gun Trucks by Timothy J. Kutta (Carrollton: Squadron/Signal, 1996; ISBN 0-89747-359-0).Looking through that book, I find photos of ones named:
- King Cobra (the kit’s subject)
- Sir Charles
- Big Bad John
- King Kong (off the truck, but obviously from a gun truck)
- The Big Kahuna
- Two side-by-side with names not visible in the photo
- One whose name I can’t read
- Budah the Greek God (M113 reversed on the load bed)
Paul,
I liked the look of the Langley - she was a converted collier! I looked at the price, just under £90 at the cheapest - a bit rich for me!

i remember reading a book about escort carriers a very long time ago and always found the subject interesting ever since
You can see why they called them "flat tops"!

At the model show I went to last week, some Belgian radio-controlled boating group who were also heavily into 3D printing, had half a dozen or so sharks, whales, etc. some 20-30 cm long. Remote-controlled swimming models of fish …

Interesting … two figures in realistic poses for Second World War infantrymen not actually using their weapons, and two in too modern poses
